Amazon made waves a few years ago when they announced ongoing development of Prime Air, their drone-based package delivery system. Also, their supply chain took another step toward full automation with the roll-out of the first autonomous inventory scanning and stock-taking system.
Drone-Based Inventory Management
Infinium Robotics is an award-winning start-up specializing in Unmanned Aerial Systems (AES) that incorporate drones. The company has spent three years working on Infinium Scan, a system specifically designed to address slow stock-checking turnover in warehouses.
After staging a series of progressive demonstrations for major warehouse operators, Infinium Robotics held the official debut of Infinium Scan at Bolloré Logistics, an international transport leader. Invited guests witnessed a live demonstration of the system in action.
Benefits of Infinium Scan
Due to its autonomous nature, Infinium Scan reduces the risk of theft while improving safety and accuracy. According to Infinium Robotics CEO Junyang Woon, the system increases productivity through precise indoor navigation and automated scanning, even to the highest reaches of the warehouse.
Global logistics giant DHL Group in Singapore hosted DHL Innovation Day to recognize current breakthroughs in warehouse technology. Infinium Scan received the award of “Most Valued Future Idea” out of a field of more than 140 entries, including some from DHL clients.
